Driver License Donations

Do you want to support veterans?

It's as simple as checking YES!

​

In 2013, the 83rd Texas legislature passed House Bill 633, authored by Representative Joe Farias. This bill allows Texans to make donations to the Fund for Veterans' Assistance (FVA) when applying for or renewing a driver license or identification car at DPS driver license offices. Contributions made through this donation feature will help to support Texas Veterans and their families.

​

The donation option is available to customers who apply in-person at a DPS driver license office and during online transactions. Customers may only make donations when applying for an original or renewal driver license or identification card - not during other transactions such as changes of address or card replacements.

 

"The Fund for Veterans' Assistance program made it possible for me and my wife to continue to provide for our family during a challenging time. If their funding was not available, we would be homeless with our children. I couldn't even imagine it." -Veteran Couple, Houston, TX
